37" Class Viera® D2 Series 1080p LED

TC-L37D2

Features

Saving energy never looked better. VIERA® D2 Series LED HDTVs offer an IPS - LED LCD panel, which include new technology that achieves the highest levels of brightness and energy-saving efficiency ever in a VIERA® LCD HDTV.

IPS LED LCD Technology

The IPS panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle and excellent light transmittance, is now further enhanced with a bright, energy-saving LED backlight. Images do not fade when viewed from an angle, and contrast is higher than in previous IPS models in spite of using less power. The IPS LED LCD TV offers superb color rendering and also contributes to the display's slim design.

LED Backlight

This system places LED backlights on the top and bottom of the panel, and sends the light toward the center of the screen. Using light guides and diffusers, it distributes the light over the entire panel to provide backlighting. There is no need to cover the entire rear surface with LEDs, so the panel module is thinner and a great deal of energy is saved.

Both high contrast and energy-saving efficiency have been achieved in the IPS LED LCD TV by combining the IPS panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle, with a bright, energy-efficient LED backlight. Even dark scenes like night skies are naturally rendered with delicate shades of black. The Intelligent Scene Controller further boosts the image quality.

The iPod Entertainment Kit lets you control and playback your iPod music and video directly through your VIERA HD TV.

24p Smooth Film Smooth Film Images

Enjoy naturally flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. This mode optimizes the number of frames of 24p images recorded from film media such as a Blu-ray Disc. Advanced source analysis and frame generation produce smooth images that are faithful to the original.

Wide Viewing Angle Beautiful Images from Any Angle

The wide 178°* viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response.*Measured at an angle where the contrast ratio is 10:1 or higher.

VIERA Image Viewer Easy viewing of full-HD photos

It's easy to view full-HD images with the SD card slot. Watch and show your photos right after you take them. Simply insert an SD Memory Card into your VIERA HDTV to display photos a on the large screen.

First ImpressionsI was looking for an HDTV with 120 Hz or better refresh rate and found this LED edge lit HDTV at a competitive price. (I can't stand the motion artifacts visible in 60 Hz LCD HDTV's.) So far, I've been very pleased with the picture quality and absence of motion artifacts. The sound quality is much better than I expected after reading other reviews of this model. Installation and initial setup went very smoothly and most menu items are intuitive.
I was surprised that the electronic program guide supported on my $20 digital TV converter isn't available on this HDTV. The documentation only covers basic material and coverage of advanced menu items is too limited. I have no use for iPod dock. A USB port and support for a wide variety of digital video formats (see videolan.org) would be a more attractive option. The controls on the right side of the screen are not accessible with the TV placed inside my wife's cherished TV cabinet. Front panel controls would be more practical in any installation.

LEDPicture is vivid and colorful. It's a lightweight TV that consumes less electricity than Plasmas or LCD TVs. Includes an iPod Dock and has Viera Link. One thing I didn't like about it is that when you turn on a Bluray player or a video game console the TV won't automatically go to that input like in other Televisions that I have encountered. It should have more HDMI ports and possibly better speakers. Compared to other LED TV, the TC-L37D2 has a lower price than other LED televisions. With the TC-L37D2, demonstrates can make good LED TVs besides Plasma.

Replacement TVMy Dynex 32" LCD TV got fried so decided on replacing it with this new LED TV. Patience is recommended with any electronic device, so make sure you read through the colored paper before you start unwrapping. I noticed that the color is very rich and I do not have HD Cable service yet. I use it with my up-converting DVD player and image is really crisp. What I like about my Dynex was that it had no glare. This one has it, so if a lamp is on it reflects in the screen. Over all, I'm sure it's a beautiful TV with HDTV or Blue Ray DVD Player.
